Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Eden, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Eden where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
